Since the start of the industrial revolution, human activities have caused a rapid increase in
atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentrations, which have, in turn, had an impact on …

Planktonic protists are an essential component of marine pelagic ecosystems where they
mediate important trophic and biogeochemical functions. Although these functions are …

Flow cytometric data collected from more than 250 stations in the Pacific and Indian Oceans
were analyzed to determine the factors affecting the depth and magnitude of the subsurface …

We investigated the plankton community structure and biomass during the post-bloom
season in the Oyashio region of the western subarctic Pacific, including pico-, nano …

To test the possibility of nickel (Ni) limitation and nickel‑nitrogen (Ni-N) colimitation on
phytoplankton growth, seven urea/Ni enrichment experiments were conducted in the …

Cyanate is a simple nitrogen-containing organic compound that occurs in surface water at
subnanomolar to nanomolar concentrations. To examine the possibility of cyanate as a …

In the western subarctic Pacific (WSP), iron (Fe) can enhance the biological carbon pump by
stimulating phytoplankton photosynthesis. However, little is known about how Fe and light …

Temporal changes in the abundance, community composition, and photosynthetic
physiology of phytoplankton in surface waters were investigated during the second in situ …

To elucidate the ecological importance of mixotrophic nanoflagellates in the open ocean
and the environmental factors that regulate their abundance, we surveyed latitudinal …

Since the start of the industrial revolution, human activities have caused a rapid increase in
atmospheric CO2 concentrations, which have in turn been cited as the cause of a variety …
